If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

So, Trump is sending the Texas National Guard to Chicago.

A bunch of Texans. Habituated to Texas. Equipped for Texas. Deployed to CHICAGO. On the Lake. With Winter coming on...

But seriously, how dedicated to being a total douchebag to you have to be to still be driving a Cybertruck at this point?

Nationalize all Golf Courses

That way, when government shuts down, so does golf. You'll never see another shutdown again.

They're going to put Trump on a new $1 gold coin.

But you can only use it to purchase soybeans from American farmers.

I'm not from here. I'm from way up north. I just live here at the moment, sentenced to this hell for my sins.

Libertarians watching Government goons fast rope from black helicopters into a Chicago apartment complex, drag Americans from their beds, and leave them hogtied naked on the street:

He's lying and he knows it. It had everything to do with his politics. Even the local MAGA thought he was a raging lunatic.

Note: The owner of this store is a raging Trumper, an ultra MAGA, who routinely posted pictures of himself and his customers gleefully shooting at cardboard cutouts of local politicians. A local judge called it "free speech." It's that kind of town.

In case you ever wondered what happened to Trump loving murderer Kyle Rittenhouse, he ended up here in my little Southern town selling guns to the yokels.

Turns, it was a very Trumpian Business model.

I made a comment about the US government attacking a Chicago apartment building like SPECWAR breaching a terrorist compound in Kandahar and the responses were "Uh, uh, you made a typo!"

The typo was more important than Trump sending in the Gestapo.

In case you were wondering how we ended up here.

You have to be kidding. Mastodon has to be the absolute worst platforms I've ever had the misfortune of being on. The staggering level of virtue signaling was unreal. I've never been scolded so much in my life. And the interface is absolute garbage. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Cut and paste failure. Since I can't edit on this crap platform, I'll have to leave it. Which means I'll have to listen to the passive-aggressive snide little BlueSky Pedantry Patrol all day.

Add that to the list of Shut Down Day irritations.

ed Cruz coming out in support of Pedophiles is nothing new. The guy has been a registered Republican for years.

Yeah. I mentioned it then too. Wrote tens of thousands of word about it.

Would have been great if people had listened instead of calling me hysterical, overreacting, hyperbolic, and my most recent favorite "pro-genocide" (which I got called by some one in this very thread, until I blocked them)

Trump just called us "the enemy within"

Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

I slept in an extra 15 minutes. Sorry about that. Hope I haven't missed the day's first mass shooting.

I don't know what happened, but the one thing I know for certain is this last incident of violence is proof positive of everything I believe and obviously the fault of everyone I despise.

What we know so far: The guns are safe. The guns were not harmed. It was just people who were killed and injured, the guns are safe.
